Regarding this automatic backup service, Vultr’s official introduction is briefly translated as follows (official address: https://www.vultr.com/docs/vps-automatic-backups):

Vultr provides automatic backup for VPS. Backups are important for mission-critical systems, and Vultr Backup System adds data protection with one easy-to-manage feature. This article details some of the key points of using Vultr to automatically backup on your cloud host.

1.Overview

• Backups are stored in the same Data Center as the original instance on a separate fault-tolerant storage system.
• Automated backups can be configured to run daily, every other day, weekly, or monthly.
• You can configure the time, day of week/month when backup occurs.
• You can only restore a snapshot of the entire host, not individual files.
• Vultr stores your two most recent backups. After each scheduled interval, older backups will be rotated out.

2. Price

Instances with automatic backups enabled will have a 20% higher base monthly/hourly charge.

3. Configuration backup

Automatic backup settings can be managed through the Vultr control panel. After logging into your account, visit your host's admin area and click on the Backup tab.

4. Configure backup through API

The Vultr API provides backup functionality in the Host Section to enable, disable, and manage the host's backup settings. For all intents and purposes, you can think of backups and snapshots as the same type of object. We modeled them separately in the Vultr API to allow future expansion of the backup service.

5.Restrictions

Automatic backup takes periodic snapshots of the active file system. Since we don't stop your host from taking snapshots, booting from a backup is similar to rebooting after an ungraceful reboot of the host.

While modern file systems and databases handle this situation very well, when running very active and write-intensive database-type systems, you may need to take additional measures to guarantee a consistent state of the data. For example, using MySQL, you can set up a cron to run mysqldump to detach directories on the local file system.
